It’s the big reveal video of numbers 40-31 on my TOP 50 Boardgames of ALL the TIMES list. I do hope you enjoy it. Next week I’ll dig into the games in a wee bit more detail. For now – go see what’s made the list!

My goodness that is a nice collection of games! And I thought it was only Tom Vasel and The Dice Tower who displayed games like that! Rab I salute you! You’ve got me back into boardgames in a big way! Miss you on Twitter :(

In all seriousness, I understood maybe about 1 word out of 3. Rab, I knew that you’re Bri’ish and suspected Sco’ish, but I never would have pegged you with an accent that makes David Tennant sound like he grew up in Chicago.

Excellent video, great direction. Personally, I’d put Risk: Legacy higher on the list. I’ve been playing this game with four of my coworkers over the last couple of months, and the consensus is that this is the most fun any of us have had with a board game. We’re not all board gamers, but some of us are, so this is a remarkable consensus. It’s not a perfect game, but I can say with great confidence that it’s a genius design and endlessly fun.

Was about to say the same damn thing! Loved Legacy, it was an immensely refreshing board game and, as Rab said, it creates a solid memento to look back on after you’ve finished the 15 games. Cheers for giving it such a glowing review way back when, Rab – probably wouldn’t have heard of it if you hadn’t mentioned it, and that in turn spurred me and my mates to look into more board games.

I would like to start hearing a little more about why he prefers the games in the 40’s to the ones in the 50’s (and the ones in the 30’s to the 40’s). What propels one game ahead of another? However, there might be too much genre variety to do that at the moment.
